Really in the mood for ribs.
For the glory of the Motherlands.
"Hmm, this is the list of people you wish to put forward?" The Premier of the Neo-Soviet Federation mused as the head of the Security Bureau nodded.
"These people are the best candidates so far, and we can bring in more should they come to our attention. They possess the qualities and drive necessary to ensuring the supremacy and survival of our great Federation." The woman indicated the files, "Furthermore, we have ample evidence that they may be under observation by our rivals in Europe and China."
"Hmm, so it will be of use to place them somewhere were they can be used as bait for foreign spies." The Premier mused, "Very well, you may go ahead with the formation of the People's Special Directorate."
"Thank you, Comrade-Premier, I will begin work immediately."

The Security Bureau arrives on the doorsteps of three people one, appropriately, freezing day and before long three people are bundled into salvaged Drakan autosteamer cars and taken to a secure location. Here, with fully-appointed lodgings, communications lines to the outside world and a full staff, these three are with rapid ceremony informed that they are the founding members of the People's Special Directorate, a group empowered by the office of the Premier to improve and advance the Neo-Soviet Federation by all means necessary.
After that, they are left to their own devices.
Secure Bunker Complex 'D9', 2011
It's been 15 years since the first survivors left the bunkers across Eastern Europe, Russia and parts of the Middle East, banding together and through steel and gun reclaimed lost knowledge and history, some of it hidden where it escaped the claws of the Draka.
It was through these hidden books and vaults that the first warlords allied together and reformed their lands, coming together into a great alliance under the banner of the hammer and sickle that was a symbol of an industrious nation ruled by the people, and it was this banner that became the flag of a Federation of nations.
But the times of peace are in jeopardy; signs of mysterious attacks and abductions along with bizarre phenomena have been appearing, armies of wandering Janissary marauders threaten every city and prevent peaceful expansion, the rival super-states of the European Alliance and Jade Republic remain peaceful but it is a peace enforced by a Cold War and bonded by The Fallout Treaty.
The land itself remains contaminated, massive hot zones of intense radiation linger near the impact craters. Farming and Industry are weak and largely based on scavenged Drakan designs and technology, the guns held by the standing armies are all taken from Drakan armories as are the planes, helicopters, automatic artillery and tanks.
And there is no guarantee that the Draka or the Alliance, the main powers of the days before The Burning, were wiped out in the falling rain of nuclear warheads. The Alliance, who bullied and blackmailed smaller powers into joining them under the pretext of opposing the Draka, leaving nations dominated by the Americans, and the Domination Of Draka who were an evil that even now in temples, mosques and churches across Europe were synonymous with the Satan himself.
This is where you come in, brought to a hastily-upgraded military bunker complex somewhere you do not know, with cold concrete walls around you, you are the members of the People's Special Directorate, charged with ensuring the supremacy of the Neo-Soviet Federation in the face of competition from the European Alliance and the Jade Republic Of China.
You will not be alone, the Neo-Soviet Duma has provided a group of specialist liaisons who will provide you with the best possible information and their personal assessments.
The Federation stands on the brink of regression or greatness, how will you guide it?
